Services

Accounting services built around the marketplace file

EcomCount handles the recurring accounting system behind e-commerce operators: reconciled payouts, tax compliance, inventory and COGS, margin reporting, and advisory when the business becomes too complex for generic bookkeeping.

Before pricing

We review the file before quoting the engagement.

Marketplace sellers can have the same revenue and completely different accounting complexity. Platform mix, tax registrations, settlement quality, inventory model, foreign currency, and historical clean-up all change the scope.

Before recommending a service tier, we look at the current books, sales channels, GST/HST and other sales tax registrations, inventory process, payout reconciliation, and reporting gaps. After your request, we send a tailored document checklist instead of asking for every possible file upfront.

  1. 01
    File review

    We inspect the current books, sales channels, tax registrations, settlement reports, and inventory process.

  2. 02
    Findings

    You receive a written summary of gaps, risks, and the work needed before monthly service starts.

  3. 03
    Scope

    The service tier and any add-ons are selected based on actual complexity, not a generic revenue band.

  4. 04
    Onboard

    Accounts, integrations, close cadence, documents, and reporting outputs are set up around the operator workflow.

Service workstreams

What the monthly accounting system has to cover.

A useful e-commerce file does more than categorize bank transactions. It explains how money moved from customer orders to platform settlements to tax filings and management decisions.

01

Marketplace reconciliation

Gross sales, refunds, fees, reserves, chargebacks, payment processors, and bank deposits are tied back to the accounting file.

02

GST/HST and sales tax file

Registration status, marketplace collection, Shopify tax settings, input tax credits, and filing deadlines are tracked together.

03

Inventory, landed cost, and COGS

Supplier invoices, freight, duties, 3PL costs, FBA storage, stock timing, and COGS cut-offs are reviewed for reporting quality.

04

Management reporting

Financial statements are shaped for operators: channel P&L, SKU margin logic, advertising spend, cash flow, and close notes.

Engagement levels

Choose the level after the file is understood.

The tiers are not packages of random features. They are levels of accounting depth, review cadence, and advisory support.

Add-ons

Additional scope for expansion or clean-up.

Add-ons are scoped after the file review and paired with the appropriate service level. Some are one-time projects; others become part of the recurring close.

U.S. expansion

Sales tax nexus review, registration coordination, marketplace facilitator treatment, and U.S. marketplace reconciliation.

EU and UK VAT

VAT registration coordination, filing workflow, Amazon EU settlement treatment, import documentation, and multi-currency records.

Canadian market entry

For non-Canadian sellers entering Canada: GST/HST setup, Canadian marketplace accounting, and local compliance workflow.

Clean-up project

Historical books, settlement mismatches, missing tax accounts, inventory catch-up, or a file that needs repair before monthly work.

Pricing inputs

What affects the fixed-fee proposal.

  • Number of active platforms and payment processors
  • Monthly transaction volume and settlement report quality
  • GST/HST, U.S. sales tax, VAT, PST, QST, or RST footprint
  • Inventory model, landed cost records, 3PL/FBA activity, and COGS timing
  • Historical clean-up, late filings, or unreconciled prior periods
  • Reporting depth: financial statements, channel P&L, SKU margins, or cash forecasts
